[SOLUTION] How I got ADB to communicate with my Kindle Fire HD! - 7" Kindle Fire HD General

Originally when I tried rooting my Kindle Fire HD on 7.2.3, ADB Devices wasn't showing my Kindle Fire HD device. So, a solution to my problem was installing the Google USB Driver from my Android SDK Manager. After the installation, I was able to open up CMD (Administrator) and see if ADB Devices would show my Kindle Fire HD. Bingo! It appeared!

I was also having trouble getting adb to see the device, even though Composite ADB Interface was there in the Device Manager. After much searching, I found that I needed to put 0x1949 in C:\Users\<my name>\.android\adb_usb.ini. Neither the file nor the directory existed on my system, so I created them both and put that number on a line by itself, saved the file, unplugged/replugged the Fire, and it worked!

Issues with adb shell, etc.

So for the first time I've set up my ADB since I will getting a MT3G tomorrow. Environment variables (PATH) set correctly, etc.
When I type adb shell in recovery model, it says *daemon not running. starting it now, daemon started successfully, error: device not found*
"Android Compsite ADB Interface" shows up in my USB devices. So what's the problem.
Then when I load up "emulator -data c:\", it starts up and gives me this error. msvcrt.dll? I've dealt with that .dll file before for other apps and it is in my system32 folder.
So what's going on here.

try reinstalling the usb driver.
mine identifies as HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface.
did you install the usb driver that comes in the SDK?
what if you navigate to the location you have the sdk installed? does it work then? maybe the path is not set up as correct as you think? (i had this problem when trying to do fastboot. everything else worked fine except for fastboot. to get that working i had to navigate to the sdk directory.)
I sure did, and it reads exactly that.
Even adb devices doesn't bring a device up. Or adb remount.
Other thing is under Hard Drives Tree, the HTC Android USB Phone Device has a Microsoft driver. I tried to install drivers from the android/usb_driver/ and nothing. Do I have to do this in the Home Screen for the first time so it brings up the permission screen where I click on "Allow Always" for root? Cause I'm not getting that there, so I rebooted into recovery....nothing there as well.
i did have an issue recently where i couldn't get the usb driver to change over.
what i had to do to get it to change was disable and then re-enable usb debugging while the phone was connected to the computer.
it triggers a hardware change in windows and this allowed me to reinstall the correct driver.
uninstalling the current drivers might also help.
I've tried both things.
Same issue.
What Windows Services need to be enabled in order to get ADB to work? I did some tweaking of the services.msc for XP. I think that might be the reason adb shell isn't working.
Same problem I have:
I have TWO rooted G1s, Cyanogen 4.0.4 modified devices with identical Software releases.
The one (rooted by the Golcard Method) is recognized by ADB - the other one (rooted by the One Click Method) is not.
Troubled !

Nexus 4 Not Recognized by ADB in Mac OS X

Hi Folks,
I am running Mac OS X 10.8.2 and I have ran into the following issues. I am trying to root a friend's Nexus 4 that's on 4.2.2, unlocked bootloader and USB debugging enabled/on.
I can easily root this on my Windows desktop but I thought I'd try out the Mac. Do note that I am not getting the "Allow USB Debugging" message that pops up on the phone when you connect it to a computer normally and you select Allow for the respective RSA key. The one that shows up after 4.2.2 is updated from 4.2.1.
I am not getting the above prompt when hooking up the phone to my Mac. *PS I removed the name of my MBP pro and the user name.
Okay so here are the two issues/scenarios:
1) I downloaded the latest ADB and Fastboot Mac OS X 64 bit files from the ADB dev tools website, etc. The files are "adb" and "fastboot"
When I type "./adb devices" since the "./" command is for Mac on the terminal, I get the following message and it does not show up any device listed.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then when I type "./adb reboot-bootloader", I get the following:
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2) When I use an older adb and fastboot files from last year: "./adb_Mac" , "./fastboot_Mac" and "ADB-Install-Mac.sh", I get the following:
When I type in the adb devices command and the adb reboot-bootloader command:
The serial # shows up this time (Again I have crossed out half of it lol)
When typing in the reboot-bootloader command:
Now to my knowledge, I know that I am getting the device offline mode based on using the old ADB and Fastboot files. So the way to fix it, is to download the updated files but it doesn't result in anything at all.
With the updated ADB and fastboot files, and by booting into fastboot mode manually and then typing in ".fastboot devices", I get the Error Could Not Get Pipe Properties error in a loop.
Would appreciate the help folks!

Beauty! I didn't know that it has to be done for the same in OS X. Query, does this have to be done every time or?

Boot up normally. Make sure you have enabled debugging. If you haven't, follow the guide here.
After that download ADB:
USB drivers required;
ADB interface.
Install the drivers and ADB. You can find ADB in your Start Menu or you can open CMD and cd to c:\adb
When you connect your phone to the computer in your CMD window type adb shell. You may get a security prompt on your phone to allow or deny. Tap on allow or similar.
Retype adb shell if needed and you should see:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

}
If good type "settings get secure android_id".
Ask if you get stuck anywhere.
Thanks for all your help! It´s working now. This suggested adb drivers are older than mine and working. Strange

I'm 63 years old & could do with some help - trying to flash my Moto G4 but no luck

I'm 63 years old & could do with some help - trying to flash my Moto G4 but no luck
Hello folks.
I apologise in advance. I thought something was a good idea, and I said to myself I would give it a try and I won't give up, but I have been at this for about 5 hours now and no progress.
I have a Moto G4 which my wife gave about a year ago. I don't like stock Android and want to install Lineage OS onto it. I understand that first I need to:
1. Unlock my bootloader (done)
2. Install ADB Driver Installer onto my Dell (done)
3. Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot onto my Dell (done)
4. Plug my G4 into my Dell using the correct cable. It seems to work as the ADP Driver Installer / APK Installer recognises it as per the image below
/https://imgur.com/a/NBfrIcZ
5. Open up the command promt in the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder, type adb devices - the device is recognised
6. Here is where the problems start!
(a) At this stage, as soon as I type adb reboot bootloader, the G4 reboots but as it does so it disappears from the ADB Diver Installer / APK Installer
(b) Soon after when I type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img then nothing is found, no files or directory or anything. I don't understand what I am doing wrong and am very stuck sadly

Would really appreciate some help!
Great, my pictures don't work. I don't understand why. But basically when I write fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (it is in the same folder as Minimal ADB and Fastboot), it says not found to a bunch of things and no such file or directory.

YB1-X90F No OS(?) - Flashing Help

I have acquired a YB1-X90F that just shows the orange Lenovo splash screen and or a blank and does nothing.
I'm a novice when it comes to flashing, etc.
I can access Fast Boot and Recovery Mode.
What should I be trying?
I've got several links I'm going through but I'm rather confused. For example, I've been trying to set up ADB, Fastboot and Drivers. Struggling with drivers.
My first setup was with platform-tools_r32.0.0-windows.zip but I'd just have a missing 'Cherry Trail Tablet' driver in Device Manager.
I then tried 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3 but still no driver. 'Cherry Trail Tablet' in Device Manager.
I also tried ADBDriverinstaller.exe and IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.10.0.exe.
I looked through this thread, but no joy:
